Really Poor Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Concierge is amazing! Building staff are responsive and very friendly. Dry cleaning drop off in building. Electric bill is very low.
Cons:
Significant smell of marijuana. No amenities included with rent. Package room is limited hours. Cannot get packages 24/7. Management doesn’t respond to complaints.

Generally a pretty pleasant place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
* Wonderful staff (especially the concierge staff and porters)
* Great location (though it’s a little far from the train)
* Amenities areas are really nice
* Well-maintained
* Generally pretty quick response to repair requests through the portal
* Amazing being by the water and Domino Park
Cons:
* Typical ones that come with a large management company (e.g., actual management sometimes slow to respond)
* People were initially not very nice or accommodating to us since we had a lease reassignment (folks eventually warmed up but it took a min)
* Distance from the train is not ideal
* Management was not accommodating in dealing with the construction noise from the first floor shops that made working from home difficult

Tenant since 2019 in one bedroom
Former Tenant
Pros:
Staff is great
Amenities are fantastic
The apartment is sleek and modern - very new and well designed
Lots of light
Appliances are very nice
Cons:
Too pricy for the size of the apartment and view
In the winter the windows condensate and are really cumbersome since it starts leaking onto floors - management said they cant do anything about it - poor design. Has happened to a lot of tenants
Pool has terrible rules - no guests allowed even if in the contract it says two guests. They are now charging $40 per guest
Neighbors can be very loud
Advice to owner:
Try to keep good tenants
Be more responsive to requests
Be logical with the pool rules and guests

overpriced poorly managed
Former Tenant
Pros:
The staff are amazing, views are great and amenities are beautiful but management is the worst and the management of the amenities is even worse
Cons:
This is a typical corporation type building, all they care about is your $, no loyalty whatsoever to long term tenets. They are increasing rents at 40% and taking away free amenities for people who have lived here since the building opened, when I’m pretty sure we are supposed to be rent stabilized. There are crazy bad trash smells on certain days of the week when garbage piles up in the building, we have had spiders, ants and termites infect the apartment, but they are quick to send exterminator. There was a shooting outside our building at someone who lives in 420 and there was no communication to the 416 building. When you use the pool or common areas they treat you like you owe them something. We pay ridiculous rents to live here, I’m not a child, don’t treat me like one. They change the pool guest policy almost daily, it use to be free and could take 3 people with you, then you could only take 1, then none, now if you want a guest only weekdays for $40, like what the actual f**k. Then when you get up there no one is actually there so why the $. You feel like you are being nickle and dimed for every little thing in this place. Don’t use a 3rd party to manage amenities we are paying for!!!!!! Also I pay for the bike room and everyone just throws their bikes in with no management of it. Someone keeps taking my space and when I tell the building they do nothing about it, I keep having to move the persons bike.
Advice to owner:
Have some loyalty to you tenets who are good, pay on time and take care of your property. Fire management and get someone who actually cares about people, Bob is horrible and talks down to people when he actually responds (typically he just ignores you)Pretty sure he treats women and people of color different than men in the building.

Luxury building without the luxury service
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is fantastic and the tenants in the building are great. Doorman are friendly and helpful.
Cons:
The management of this building is a joke and they general don't care about the tenants concerns or needs. If you send a message to management, then expect weeks before you get a response...if you get a response at all. It's a true disappointment as the support staff (doorman, porters, maintenance) is fabulous and the turnover is real because of the horrible management.

However, by far the WORST is Iowa Sports and their "management" of the amenities. You are treated like a freshmen in a door while paying thousands of dollars for a luxury building. If the amenities are what sold you on this building then you been sold snake oil.
Advice to owner:
Management training for ALL management and fire Iowa Sports.

Beautiful waterfront building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Beautiful interiors, respectful neighbours and right next to the ferry. Good for dog owners with well lit walking path outside, even at night.
Cons:
Leaks have occurred a few times while I have been here. A smell of weed comes through the vents (usually on a Friday night).

Slum luxury
Former Tenant
Pros:
Amazing rooftop, pool ($), great views, nice doormen.
Cons:
The management team has absolutely no idea what they are doing. They are unprofessional and rude. They constantly give wrong information that makes you jump through hoops just to get an answer. The units are completely overpriced and they make you pay for the gym and pool on top of very expensive rent.
Advice to owner:
Be good to your current tenants
